The New Statue

The New Statue episode is the result of when Buster hadfield tries to jump-start his barbecue, blowing the roof of his garage right into possum lake. being the only thing that doesn't leak a the lodge (including the members), Red tries to convert it into a boat by putting an SUV on the back and attaching a helicopter motor to create the lodge's first fan boat. However, it won't go anywhere, so Moose Thompson cranks up the gas. It turns out that it was stuck on a sandbar, and cranking it up in this fashion, blew a billboard right into town square, crushing a statue of the first man in the possum lake area to get a government grant. Red is then forced to build a new one (choosing to make it possum shaped). The lodge members first try to build it with stone, but too many suggestions lead to them making a fully functional gravel driveway. they then try to make it out of steel, welding a dozen or so k-cars together. The librarian (what a lonely soul) vigorously compliments it, until she figures out that one of the k-cars is hers. they are forced to demolish it and give the k-cars back. they eventually decide to use their original invention as a statue, pointing the fan out towards possum lake, and, as the mayor owns a sailboat, Red hopes to get him out on the water more so that he won't make as many stupid decisions. Red's words to his wife are "if your sitting down at Possum Lake tonight, and you feel a lot of wind and hear a lot of noise, it is entirely my responsibility."
